Has boonie hat been said yet?

Is there one hat that will do it all, prehaps...but I have yet to find it.

Good point. My winter hats are quite different from my summer hats.

Nothing like a ten gallon texas hat. Keeps the rain off and when it gets really bad you can use it for shelter.

Bought this, a couple years ago. Wear while landscaping, and can't seem to get it dirty. Very cool in summer.

OR Helios.

They make a wool blend boonie hat that is pretty warm and water repellent. My favorite hat when hiking is a wool felt fedora. water repellent , good shade for eyes and back of neck and great for use as bellows when fanning campfire.

Whatever canvas/nylon hat you prefer, be it Boonie/OR/Tilley/Patagonia/Columbia, etc. They each have their strengths.

my .02...Columbia Bora Bora boonie hat...mesh around the sides and a comfy wicking sweatband. Also has the webbing around the top to tie paracord to if you want, but doesn't stand out if you don't want. I've been using one for years and it works great. For some mild water repellentcy you can spray it with Graingers Soft-shell proof or any other kind of DWR rejuvenator.

I wear the Under Armor bucket cap in OD green. It is top notch.

Can't go wrong with a good old boonie with 50 feet of 550 cord woven around the base of the cap. A great place to store your cord when your packing in with little gear.

Hard to beat a Boonie Hat.
